President Donald Trump says he and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un “fell in love” over letters he and the brutal dictator have exchanged in recent months. Really.
Trump made the remarks while speaking at a Make America Great Again rally in Wheeling, West Virginia on Saturday. At first, the audience laughed when he said it, but then he reiterated the point — and acknowledged it would probably raise some eyebrows. Here’s what Trump said:
I was really being tough, and so was he. And we would go back and forth. And then we fell in love, okay? No, really. He wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.
He then gestured, presumably the press or world outside the arena, and anticipated a reaction. “But you know what? Now they’ll make, they’ll say, ‘Donald Trump said they fell in love, how horrible. How horrible is that? So unpresidential,’” he said.
